Progression

Three builds by maintenance men and a marine tech: the Speedbump, a modular redoubt of goblin tables and weight benches with shuriken spikes, assembled in forty seconds to wedge the Ball of Swine (ch. 26); the residents' float — wheelchair wheels on wood, chained together with Imani's 300-foot scroll chain, pulled in pig harnesses (ch. 37); the MOAB, a bomb-launching bike trailer with a bola drop and an oil slick (ch. 40); and the people buckets that take them down the ramp (ch. 41). Battlefield Construction and Grease Monkey are the AI's acknowledgements.
